List of the main requirements for renting a car.
+
To qualify to rent a car with Uber and Lyft, individuals must meet several criteria: they must be at least 25 years old, have a valid driver's licence, and have between one and three years' driving experience. Both Uber and Lyft conduct background checks on potential drivers, which include examining their driving records and criminal backgrounds. In addition, for-hire programmes may have their own screening procedures. It is important to meet these requirements and make sure you qualify under the specific criteria outlined by Uber, Lyft, or your chosen rental program.
